The lack of self awareness of certain unnamed posters is astounding...

It is $80 a year. I know someone who has one, but I don’t think they are supposed to use the sports pool.

Most people ARE honest and would NOT think of doing something like that. But, 100% of all people are NOT honest and I have known many, personally - they tend to brag about their dishonesty for SOME (?) reason. They say their should-be "quiet" part out loud! Also, when money can be made........SOME will make it.

Yes,Yes! The BLAND posts about almost nothing like dog excrement are what I call, "da, dee, da, dee, da DUMB" posts - like I like green, what color IS your favorite?
.......to REALLY learn something about a subject you have to have more than just most posters just contributing by putting 3 little, DUMB, laughing memes .......you NEED, REALLY need some controversy or EDGE to the discussion - I am NOT TALKING insults or name-calling......just a little pinch of sarcasm or EDGE to be permitted OCASSIONALLY! It would allow for a FREER and more lively discussion, which would bring out MUCH more knowledge and facts.
....Freedom for a Country REQUIRES a FREE press and a FREE exchange of ideas. Our age group (after WW2) experienced the peak, the MECCA of devotion to freedom - we WORSHIPPED it as a GIVEN concept! Now, with Facebook and Instagram and the DRUGS (many legal pain pills) that have S L O W L Y REDUCED the concentration-time period of the generations following ours - we now are ripe for a external / internal take over of WW2 hard fought for freedom

Did you call and get the information about the eighty bucks, Mr. Pennbf

Make a few calls, as suggested above. You’ll find that the answer to your question is NO!

This is someone else's post on another thread:

when i was looking at houses in StoneCrest it was a major hassle to follow my Realtor thru the Guard shack .... after looking at a couple houses , i was approached by a Stone Crest resident who offered to sell me ID and a Villages Gate Entry Card for 60.00... so i know it happens , it happened to me!

So, if true, then calling John Rohan or any other Village contact may get you the official answer, but it won't tell you what is happening unofficially. It looks like people have found a way to either forge the passes, or obtain extras and sell them for a profit.

Either way, it is long past time that our gate pass and ID system were updated to current standards.
